Pretty much the same here. I have a Jitterbug® flip phone, a desktop computer (running W7Pro), a laptop (running W7), a tablet (which I don't really know what to do with--no aps--it was a gift), and a landline phone. The flip phone is never turned on unless I want to make a call, and I don't give the number to anyone. Both the laptop and desktop computers are connected to the Internet, but the laptop is normally only powered up when I'm away from home. I have Caller-ID on my landline phone and I don't answer any calls I don't recognize the caller. I principally communicate via the gun fora and e-mail.

I have a $23 Microsoft LUmina phone i bought at Krogers on sale.

I love it but it is about to die.
I think I occasionally use four apps, maybe 5 and that is really pushing it.

If we consider the text function an app that is the only thing i use regularly. Everything else is very sporadic.

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

I have around 55 apps on my phone, i have way more then that on my work iPad.

I probably use 4 or 5 apps on a close to daily basis and maybe 10-12 apps i use on a weekly basis.

Many of my apps are rarely ever used, but when I do need it, it is already loaded up and ready. I have a few apps I have never used but have them just in case.

I have 285 apps on my iphone...Settings...General...About and you can look at the Applications line to find an exact number.

I use a couple dozen pretty regularly. Voice control on my Sonos. I use other voice controlled appliances occasionally, but Sonos on a daily basis. I use online/electronic access for almost everything.

This one from Amazon. Software included.

I'm pleased with it, good sharp images, and the ability to use the camera on the phone to capture them.

App, short for application - a program or piece of software designed and written to fulfill a particular purpose of the user.

I can't help but wonder how an App-less fellow communicates on SigForum?

As for cars...

I drive a 19 year old truck. The AM-FM Radio / CD player died about 10 years ago. There is no Bluetooth and no Satellite radio, the speedometer is a mechanical dial type, and, since there is no back-up cam, I have to turn my head around when I go in reverse. I use a key to unlock the door. I sometime remember to use "The Club" when I park it so it doesn't get ripped off, but then again, I'm not sure a car thief would know how to use the clutch.

No GPS, so I carry a set of 10 year old Thomas Bothers Maps in the side pocket.

The only smart features are the dome light comes on when I open the door, and the car buzzes at me when I disconnect the seat belt.

I had to do a web search on that. I presume you mean you use the "Waze" ap to find your way around?
